The Penalty of Barkeeper's So
briety.

There is an oud genius engaged in the
railroad business who has worked on every
foot of the freight trains from the foot
rest of the pilot as fagman to the ca
bOose as conductor. He is of fidgety,
restless natG-e and a Job o. more than
six months duration grows monotonous.
When he gives up one position he hops
on another road and takes any position
offered him, whether it be train hand or
engineer, brakeman or conductor. If he
starts in the lowest round he soon works
his way up, as he is one of the best rail-
road men in the country. 1t sometimes
happened that when he couldn't get job
on the railroad he would do something
else.
In Texas town he took a position as
bartender. He kept on an average drunk
for three months, and pleased his boss,
until Baptist preacher came along.
The bartender and the preacher became
fast friends, until one day he won all the
preachers money, and he sought to get
even by preaching a sermon to his con-
gregation of one, and by picturing the
loneliness of the congregations old
mother in Georgia, who had none but the
fondest wishes for her erring son in far
away Texas. This sermon deeply i'm
pressed the railroad bartender, and he
kept sober for five days on stretch. At
the end of this time the owner of the bar
called him up and told him he had no fur
Their use for him. "By the way" said the
bartender, IF you don't mind telling it,
I'd like to know what you turned me off
for" The proprietor replied: you've
been drunk for the last five days, and I
don't want any drunken men around me-"
He had mistaken the conduct of his bar
tender, when sober.-Macon Telegraph.

THE CABINET SHOULD BE REPRESENTA-
TIVE.

A New York dispatch yesterday stated
that in the cabinet changes made neccs-
sary by the appointment of Secretary
Lamar to a seat upon the supreme bench,
that Michigan man will be rendered a
place in the cabinet. In the present cab
met there are but two men representing
the interests of the south, or. at least,
only two men from this section of the
country. If one is taken out of that body,
it is only Just and right that some other
southern man be chosen to fill his place.
In the cabinet, now, the east and northwest
are fully represented, while, if Lamar
leaves, there will be but one representative
of the south and southwest. President
Cleveland should, by all means, avoid such
change to take place as to deprive the
half of the nation from some sufficient
recognition in his cabinet. 1t is hoped
the dispatch was not an authentic state,
ment of the presidents views in this pro
posed change.

WHAT WILL oGLESBY DO:

If Governor 0glesby is weak, or cor
rupt enough-if he is such an idiot, or
can be bought with gold-as to cheat the
gsllows of its due, he will have perpe-
trated crime against the people of I'LL
nois and of the United States, against
society, as deep, as black, as Infamous, as
that perpetrated By the condemned vii
lians at the Hsymarket. fhe saves their
necks, he will have forfeited the right to
his own. No measure of contempt could
express the loathing of the people of the
United States for a creature who, occupy
ing the governors chair-as represent
alive of the people-could, at this crucial
moment, bctray the high trusts reposed in
him. But Governor Oglesby is not the
man to do such an unwarranted and
unjust a thing. He will see that the
sentence is executed.

A HARBOR FOR TEXAS.

The time draws near for the converting
of Congress. Would it not be we'll for
the Texas delegation to get some express
sion from their constituency relative to
gaining deep water port for Texas: If
some point on the Texas coast could lie
selected, and our whole delegation could
be instructed to pull together for that
point, some substantial aid could be
secured from the United States govern
ment to help give Texas such port as
her resources and trade demand. Calves
ton has been the incubus upon all such
appropriations to Texas. Millions of
money have been sunk there by the fed
eral government, and YET the object
aimed at has not been secured. Let some
point on the coast, where deep water
harbor is practicable thing, be selected,
and let Texas, at this session of congress,
settle the question of her great entry port.
The New York Herald has this to say
about matter to which none but carping
fanatics could take exception: "The
saints are disturbed because President
Cleveland has sent contribution toward
the political expenses of his party in New
York. This is supreme hypocrisy. Next
to the duty of voting it is the duty of a
citizen who can afford it to aid in defray-
ing the legitimate expenses of his party
in canvass. Speakers must be paid,
halls hired, documents printed, and all
this requires money. Money expended in
a canvass, as Mr.. Cleveland expends it, is
creditable and thoughtful. What we
deplore and what should be reprobated i:
the assessment of candidates in large
sums. This assessment feature makes il
quite impossible for a poor man to rur
for office and maintain his self-respect.'
This last sentence is one now of growing
importance, for it has come to such {
pass in matters political that none but thu
rich can with any chance of success rur
for Office.

RECENT ACCESSORIES TO the
HAWAIIAN HOTEL.

Several accessories have been of
late added to the Hawaiian Hotel,
which tend to enhance the comfort
and convenience of its patrons.
Every effort is being made by the
manager, Mr.. Bartlett, TO render it
pleasant home to those who pat
ronize it. Electric light has been
introduced to parts of the building,
and will shortly illuminate every
room. A weighing and height
measuring machine, not long since
introduced, is so much in use that
the wonder now is that it was done
without so long. Better still, COM
pletely equipped baths have been
added, so that the luxury of hot
or cold plunge can be had any hour
of the day. The latest addition is II
boot-backing stand and chair, with
polite and attentive young man,
named Henry Williams, in charge,
who will make your boots shine like
new dollar and brush the dust off
your clothes in jiffy. Besides, if
you are in want of an extra copy Of
the Evening BULLETIN, he will supply
your wants for five cents.

SATURDAY NIGHTS FIRE.

About half-past o'clock on Sat
urday night, reflection of fire was
observed in the direction of Palama.
Shortly afterwards the alarm was
sounded, indicating the district to
be No. 2. Various reports spread
around as to the precise locality
from whence the blaze emanated, it
being finally ascertained that the
premises of Mr.. Fred. Leslie, in the
neighborhood of the Insane Asylum,
were on fire. The whole of the fire
extinguishing apparatus was quickly
on the move, but before it could
possibly reach the scene, the pre-
misses and contents were consumed.
A kerosene lamp had been placed
in an upper room of the house by
Mrs. Leslie, preparatory to her hus-
bands return from business, which
is usually at a late hour on Saturday
nights. 1t is supposed, that either
the lamp exploded or the window
curtains took fire from the lamp.
BE that as it may, the upper story
of the building was in flames before
anything could be done to prevent
their spreading, and in II few minutes
the entire premises were swept out
of existence, scarcely anything of
value being saved.
The burnt premises were situated
at the mauka side of Palama, imme-
diately opposite to the Houghtailing
homestead, and were erected by the
late Mr.. Lenehan. The property
was insured.
A Chinaman had one of his legs
fractured by No. l Engine running
into him, it having gained so much
Roadway down an incline as to be
manageable at the time. The
entire brigade was out under the
direction of the Chief Engineer, Mr..
c. B. Wilson, Ibut the services of the
firemen not being required, they re-
turned to town.

the STeAEa LAUNDRY,

The business of the Honolulu
Steam Laundry is being doomed.
The city agents, Messrs. j. f..
Brown & Co. have set forth in circu-
lars that have been widely distri-
buted, the advantages and capabili-
ties of the institution, and the
superiority of the work done, as
compared with the ordinary style of
washing done by the Cinnamon. 1t
is an institution that is deserving of
patronage, and every housekeoper,
ought to, at once, patronize it. There
may he prejudices against it for some
pettyfogging reasons, which real
ity do not exist. A lady, who, by
way of experiment sent her wash
ing to the Steam Laundry last week,
expressed to the writer on its return,
her delight and thorough apprecia-
ton of the excellence of the wash
ing, the rapidity with which it was
done, and the civlity with which she
was treated by the company's
servants. 1t is distinctly stated in
the circulars that "the charges are,
if not less, certainly no higher than
usually paid to Chinese" One
great advantage, the company can at
all times be communicated with by
telephone, either at the works, or at
their city Office on Merchant street.

ADVICE cRArlsi

Standing around the Old Snow
premises, corner of Fort and Mer-
chant streets, are TO be found dozens
of men, choke.full of advice as to
how cellars should be built, walls
erected, in fact how TO put up q
building in the latest orthodox man
ner. OF course the theories differ,
SO that Mr.. McIncrny has an oppor-
tunity of selecting what he considers
the best style. a property owner
who put up building on Queen
street a few years ago, hearing some
of this gratuitous advice being
rendered, stepped in and said: "Mac,
take my advice, and do not listen to
any of these fellows: il / had fol-
lowed the advice offered to me when
| was building, the place would not
have been finished yet. Tell these
would-be advisers to mind their own
business.

THIS DAYS D0iNGS AT THE
POLICE COURT.

Judgment was delivered this
morning in the McGregor case. His
Honor reviewed the evidence at
length, and came to the conclusion
that the prisoner and his sailors all
got gretty tight at Punaluu on the
day the assault was alleged to have
been committed. McGregor took
offence at one man for swearing.
His Honor did not think he had a
knife in his hand at the time Kanaina
swore. Kanaina went out and de-
PENDANT followed, and whilst so
doing, he must have taken knife
out of his pocket. They clinched
outside. No defence has been
offered. He found that McGregor
assaulted the man with knife, and
therefore he was guilty.
lie was sentence to pay fine of
$50, and to he imprisoned at hard
labor for 20 days. Appeal noted to
the Supreme Court.
THE ASSAULT CASE.
Akiona and his two accomplicos
were called up for Judgment this
morning. His Honor said that after
reviewing the lengthy evidence that
had been given, carefully, he found
all three parties guilty as charged.
He remarked that his former asso-
Citations with Akiona Gan cx-police-
man), caused him regret to find him
guilty. Only two years ago His
Honor had advised him to find some
reputable employment and not to
continue loafing about Honolulu.
He did not look upon this ms an
ordinary assault and battery case.
In most gambling cases there is an
attempt made to assault the party
giving the information. The sent
ence about to he passed would be
such rs to deter others from assault
ing persons giving information. 1t
was the duty of the Court to pass
such sentences. Fines did not deter
these people from committing as
saults on informers. The sentence
of the Court was that the defen-
dants be imprisoned at hard labor
for two months, and pay the costs
